Police Release Picture of Ellicott City Burglary Suspect

Howard County Police are working on closing one of about a dozen unsolved burglaries from the last year in the St. John’s Lane area.

These pictures, from a resident’s home surveillance system, show a man who police say broke into a home on the 3600 block of Macalpine Road on Dec. 28, 2012.

According to police, the burglar entered the home between about 7:50 and 9:30 p.m. by forcing open a back window. Once inside, the burglar ransacked the home and stole jewelry.

Police are asking anyone with information about the burglary to call 410-313-STOP or using the county’s smartphone application, iWatchHowardCounty.  Tips may be made anonymously.
